Hello, my name is Ammi and I'm a flashoholic

I flashed my phone three times this week and I couldn't stop myself.

Just stood there and saw my phone get flashed time and time again.

Even found a handy little script which made the flashing so much easier

It made me flash without guilt;

"No harm done" I would say

"Just takes a few minutes" I would knowingly lie to myself,

fully aware that I would stay awake that night tweaking and customizing

I always think the next flash will be my last,

will this finally quench my thirst for a smooth flowing, fast pacing, beautiful looking customizable ROM?

"NO"

Just doesn't feel right..

I want to help others that suffer from the same condition as me.

Let us join forces and let our stories be heared!

I'll start by attaching the file that saved me precious time.

Just put all your cabs you normally install after a flash in the MyCab folder

and start the script.

It utilizes Mortscript to install your cabs silently.

You put the cabs that need prompts in the folder Cab.

The cabs that don't need prompts are put in MyCab.

It will not launch after every soft reset

It will, however, launch after reentering your SDcard.

And by launch, I mean a pop-up asking to begin or not.

I highly recommend it!

It installs everything silently and smoothly

As I got in my signature... I've changed too many times LOOL... just like you I'm not completely satisfied so I change it again and again... waiting for the best... That's just in one of my phones, the other one is stable with Generic R2A... happy, but with this i'm experimenting greatness :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] CowMix:
thanks i'll have to try it next time I flash :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Cheekbone:
Since you flashed so much, what's the best WM 6.5 rom around currently? :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lizzo:
Hello my name is Sedale, and i'm also a flashoholic....

i've switched flashes on my phone a little over 11 times thus far for this week(including the twice i did today) and i think "Valkyrie V1 finale" by agent 47 is the best and fastest rom out thus far!:cool:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
Hello, my name is gtrab and next week I will cook a new custom ROM that will be SO damn good that I am sure you all will be hooked again into addiction

:D :D

BTW, here's a Flashaholism workaround:

get a second Xperia

:p

Save the other one for everyday use

;)

Hope this helps ya all
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lizzo:
nooooooooooooo i'm tryin to kick the habit:eek: lol
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] THE GRIZZ:
so whats the threshold to join the club. im averaging about 1 flash every 8 days but that may change with the increased number of good cookers in this forum
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] franklee628:
Neither do I could stop. Nearly 3 times per day in average.

The problem is, after every flash I will try to change the settings manually and get everything works fine, before I found another rom that makes me wanna give a try. Therefore all works and times has been wasted. God. It's been nearly a month that I won't go to bed till 3 am or something.

Think another solution will be fill some extra strong glue into the mini-usb port, dry it by a hair dryer. All problem fixed.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] skero666:
we still have flashing from Micro SD...glue is no good... :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Sherpa63:
Hello my name is Senad, and i'm also a flashoholic.... YEAH.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
hahaha looool... yes my second xperia is resting for now hehee! (6)... anyway... the true is that i've been using WM 6.5 (by gtrab) since yesterday (first time a mess, probably my bad) but it has been running with no problems with TF3D... I gonna see this day how it keeps running then i'll let u guys know... :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Xventure:
I always flash because i can't find the rom i want but now i using Valkyrie_v1 Final version from agent_47 and it's rock! Nice WM6.5 + Manila,try it and it may be help you to stop the habit. :p
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Ganondolf:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Sera_6969:
Hello, I'm a flashaholic. i have 9 ROMs saved to my card and regularly chop and change. I almost got fixed on gtrabs WM6.5 ROM but then i found some SPB3 tweaks that i HAD to try so loaded jacks lite ROM and then i saw a TF2D skin that rocked so had to swap. Then i had to load the base R2A ROM to load a WM6 app and then i tried Valkyries ROM and then...

I love my X1...

Hi

My name is linshi and i can`t stop flashing my X1, and because of that i put my sim card to my old k810, now i can flash whenever i want to.

I know i`m sick but i hope there is no cure for that :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mika34:
Hi. Yo yo. I'm this same. Everyday differend Rom :D, sometimes twice a day :). Where u from by the way? coze i see polish flag.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mo.ammi:
I'm glad so many people are willing to admit their addiction to the community.

I've gone three days without flashing, and I must say it feels good.

For anyone wondering, I'm using smaberg's 6.1.2B.

Gtrab has made a bold statement here, I'm counting on you!

The threshold is a minimum of one flash a week, so you're just off the boat!

Nah, kidding, you should look inside an see for yourself..

My phone is imperfect and only another flash can save it, oh no it can't..

That's the vicious cycle every flashoholic suffers

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a true example of the term flashoholic!

He even accepts his disease and loves it!

Ahh.. the trusty K810, loved the pictures that baby produced!

I see you've accepted your illness too, it's a start.

Is this a start to a friendship thanks to this program?

Who knows..

Thank you all for reading,

I'm off to play snake on my Nokia 3310
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BuddyLee:
Somebody get this guy out of here ... he is the reason for our addiction demise :cool:

Second X1 on its way, cooking and testing is taking its toll on mine...lol...the addiction gets even worse when you make your own rom...:p:D

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tuncal:
I also flash my phone every day. And every time I think "now I have a good ROM" I find a good excuse (bug) to flash a new one. Keeps me off the streets;) and out of bed.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
loooooooool ! :D yeeeeeah! he is !!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MykeChester:
+1 to that!!! lol

is there some kinda seminar or medication to this one...kinda addicted too...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] BuddyLee:
Its like going to an AA meeting, then the president of Jack Daniels walks in and is like thank you guys for your support. But next week we have a new line of stuff coming out that we going to give u all for free:mad:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
best option is cut ur usb cable with a good scissors !! :D loooool !! it really helps...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] MykeChester:
looool!!! I think I'll try that...:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
@wazaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap !!

(I love to write that :D LOL)

Cuttin' the cable won't help, na-a

Sony gave you a free microSD with your phone, and jack teached us the way to flash with it

You don't know the power of the flash side

;)

and cooking your own rom makes you crazier then before... really :)

try it ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mcbyte_it:
this autorun installer seems interesting, but how does it work?

seems upon first boot from a fresh flash it will launch and install cabs and import regs, but will it run on each soft reset? will it install cabs silently or with prompts? i have a couple of cabs that ask question and can't be done silent

if somebody tried it, please share info...

I have just found a couple of days ago InstallExpress, similar idea but need to install base app then launch to install other cabs.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
this man really wants me to get crazy flashing and flashing the whole dayy!!!! :eek::eek::eek:
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Kid_DC:
My 12th flash now :) (today)

Only because I'm cooking sth. new....

I have to admit --> I'm a flashaholic, too.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
looooooooooooool 12 a day? OMG!!! :eek:

BTW... does anyone know why i'm getting this when i try to install youtube app 0.1... "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions". thanks in advance!

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] wazaaappp:
I thought I was out of the flashing :)... but today I got bored so I came back to flash :( my big illness :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: gotta try this rom :P by Kid_DC
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mcbyte_it:
i didn't flash yet, but i modifed the vip autorun.msrc to do an extra check before starting, a check to see if a file exists in the "\Program Files" folder, if it's there then it will exit, otherwise it will continue operation.

like this when installation is done after a clean flash, it will run only the first time and no need to select no to the popup...

modification is to put these lines at the beginning of the autorun.msrc:

If (FileExists("\Program Files\dummy.txt"))
Exit
EndIf
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mo.ammi:
Thanks, I edited the code and it works like a charm.

I love these helpful, yet simple solution.

Oh, and I can proudly say I haven't flashed a rom in six days now.

Good day to you all sirs
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] mcbyte_it:
I haven't done a flash yet since TouchX 6.1.2B, but soon (max tomorrow) i will flash to TouchX 7 just to see if this script works :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Tuncal:
Well I didnt.t flash now for 3 days. But I saw that Touxh X v7 will come out......so there we go again. Can't control myself:eek:

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] pejkopejko:
I have changed my ROM from R1A to Touch X. Everything works fine, but the quality of video has been dropped to very low level in all programs playing video... specially in youtube player... with the original ROM it used to be smooth, even the high quality videos but now, just breaking images, framing after 1-2 secs, blinking, flashing.... WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE and WHAT CAN I DO? Thanks for ideas....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gtrab:
The right way to solve your problem would be:

Ask the ROM cooker and other users of that ROM...

Since cookers always offer support @ their threads, there's no need to open a new thread to ask for support / help

And BTW: read and search the thread before posting

Welcome to the forum

and have fun

I tried looking for good Vista icons of the Xperia on the XDA Xperia forum and I learned that the icons provided are crap.

I have created the perfect icons for you guys this time. This time around, the icons are ACTUALLY Vista icons, and not just cheap XP icons that are just plain SMALL and UGLY.

Enjoy! Please tell me if they work in your computer, because I know they work on mine, but I am not sure if I made them correctly.
[XPERIA X1 General] shamstar:
Wow, great icons - thanks!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mingermouse:
Hi there guys,

this is pretty much my first post, although i've used this site a LOT since i got my phone :)

I have been trying to install various WM 6.5 ROM packages onto my phone over the past two days (about 8 or 9 hours in total), only to be met by failiure every time! (i have never attempted to install a Cutsom ROM on my phone before)

My Phone will Start, although it will just Hang on the "TOUCH Diamond" Screen, meaning i have to boot to the Tri Colour screen to revert back and install official rom! :(

I have tried FuFu 4.1.4, Ghetto, Miri etc etc..

i started off using 1.40 OliNex Hard-slp, and as i tried every possible WWE Diamond WM 6.5 ROM i could find, until i realised, it really wasnt working, after installing custom ROM, Hard resetting, and then reverting to the Official every time; multiple times!

I have now installed the 1.34 HardSLP (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408621) using "Jump=slp" (and checked that it is installed) and have found that this does not work either!

I really have no clue as to why it wont work, as i have searched and searched google, and done a load of searches on xda Dev. too and cant find anything!

I also noticed, that every time i went to revert back to the official ROM (2.03) The RUU shows "From: (blank space)" "To: 2.03......."

Any enlightenment on the subject would be great, as i think i've spent a bit too much time trying to get it to work to suddenly turn back now!

P.S, to all developers out there, THANKS for all of you great work! Keep it up guys, there's so much great stuff coming out! ;) :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mingermouse:
Problem fixed, was cos i was doing the flashing on a stupidly crap laptop lol!

I READ IT

I have done this before. Rooting i mean but the problem is that i have already downgraded to the rc29 but i just can't enter the recovery mode. I have factory resetted and i have tried to flash the recovery image again but not works. The phone is at rc29 and i did the telnet commands but i just cannot get the phone into recovery mode. It doesn't allow it. Is there is a way to reset it to rc30 so i can try again?
[G1 Android Development] rigamrts:
brick

There's already a brick thread with helpful tips

bricked g1s are like unicorns they don't exsist when you flash the phone

Try searching for "brick thread" using search function
[G1 Android Development] rigamrts:

Also if the phone loads up it's not bricked and the recovery function is there it comes preloaded with rc29 just reflash rc29
[G1 Android Development] MUSER4LIFE:
Bootloader wont read the rc29

I put the rc29 file on my sdcard and entered bootloader by pressing camera and power button but when it enters the menu it says there is no img file present. I know that it is the right file and i have placed in the correct place. And i have not changed the file name.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
make sure you unzip the file, then place the .nbh extension on the sd.
[G1 Android Development] rigamrts:
brick

Reformat your sdcard it might say it's fat32 but might be corupted. It can't find the file is cause the filesystem is corupted or the rc29 img did not transfer correctly

Thank you so much

Thanks alot. That is the step i missed. I'm such an idiot. Thank u again. Now my girlfriend won't kill me for messing up her phone.
[G1 Android Development] RueTheDay:
You're absolutely sure it's named dreaimg.nbh, NOT dreaMimg.nbh and it's in the root directory of the SD card not a subdirectory and you downloaded the ENTIRE file (download didn't crap out prematurely?
[G1 Android Development] MUSER4LIFE:
The step i missed

No wat happened is that i didn't unzip the rc29 file and i put the whole folder on the sdcard and then i tried to run it in bootloader. That where i was messing. Thank u guys very much for your help i really appreciate it.
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
I"ve been whinging about this for awhile. A champion called

strazzere

has managed to patch the

pdfviewer

.apk. And has been tested on the JF build and Haykuro builds and also the latest SPL

Check it out his awesome work - http://strazzere.com/blog/?p=266

Original thread at apps forum - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=506595&page=4

Instructions

1. Download referenced files

http://www.strazzere.com/android/libpdfreader.so

http://www.strazzere.com/android/FilePicker.apk

http://www.strazzere.com/android/PDFViewer.apk

2. Copy all files to your sdcard

3. Install the patched pdfviewer.apk either using your standard file explorer (Astro, Lina, etc) or using:

adb install /location_of_your_file/PDFviewer.apk

4. Copy the refenced files to the correct location, either adb shell or terminal emulator punch in:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cp /sdcard/libpdfreader.so /system/lib

# cp /sdcard/FilePicker.apk /system/app

Enjoy =]

Problems and Fixes

--------------------

If you have any initial problems, try redownloading the files because they may be corrupted.

FilePicker does NOT need to be "installed (going through Linda/Astro file manager or adb install)" so to speak, just following the above steps and copying it to correct place is sufficient.

A JF complete image with Pdfviewer included:

Enjoy =]
[G1 Android Development] tr.slate:
Yeah, hey...does that come in a shiny noob edition?
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
You mean without using adb?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Follow the link and download the 3 files: libpdfreader.so, FilePicker.apk, PDFViewer.apk.

Open the terminal and enter the following:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cp /sdcard/libpdfreader.so /system/lib

# cp /sdcard/FilePicker.apk /system/app

# reboot

When the phone restarts, use a file explorer of your choice to find and install PDFViewer.apk via package installer.

Cool that he got it working on JF 1.5, but the HTC PDF viewer is so slow, RepliGo Reader on the Market render pages much faster.
[G1 Android Development] smurphete:
I was using repligo before this came out...I think repligo and htc pdfviewer render pretty much the same speed. Biggest annoyance about repligo is that it renders one page at a time. Look at one lecture slide. Next page....wait....wait...wait....rendered...damn not the slide i want...maybe its page 5.....go to page 5.....wait...wait...wait....

Whereas pdfviewer renders multiple pages at a time. But repligo is completely pwns pdfviewer when you zoom in and out, no loading time at all.

And repligo costs $$$ && think of us poor souls in countries without paid apps...well legitimately anyways :P
[G1 Android Development] octoberriot:
Im sorry, did i miss something? the pdf viewer i pulled from either a haykuro build or one from thedudes a long time ago has been working fine on any build ive used. im on jf1.5 now and it works with no problems
[G1 Android Development] Nitro212:
Thanks for this, been wanting it. Works great. :)
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
There is yet another way to do this from your PC, maybe easier for some.

1. Download the files to your /sdk/tools folder.

2. At a command prompt enter the following commands:

a. adb remount

b. adb push libpdfreader.so /system/lib

c. adb push FilePicker.apk /system/app

d. adb push PDFViewer.apk /system/app

All done.

Thanks to all who contributed to this, it actually opened a pdf that I couldn't previously view on my phone!
